Often when a new feather comes in, it's a different color than the original. Sometimes, my blue Orpington hens would molt out one color and get new feathers in a patchy way, not as solidly blue as they were originally. Also, I've had Barred Rocks as they age get more white in their larger feathers, especially sickle feathers. There may be other reasons to lose feather pigment, of course, but I never really investigated it.Quick question, molting chicken here, but whats up with the white? Like the ink jet faulted!
